Olga_S, Apr 2022

Thank you for a wonderful tour of Colosseum and Ancient Rome. It was amazing! So many interesting facts.  Very impressive when the guide is so passionate about his work that from time to time the story turns into a theatrical production ) . The presentation is light, but deep and I learned the history of literally every column in the emperors' forums.  I got to the Colosseum almost at sunset. The beauty is incredible (plan your visit in the sunset for this place - it's awesome) Made me so happy! Thanks a lot!
